Vinification
Destemmed berry by berry. Fermented in large, old native barrels ( from raulí / alerce) during one month. Malolactic fermentation happens while the berry are still intact resulting in carbonic maceration. No juice is extracted during the first 10 days. Then berries are stomped 3 to 4 times throughout the fermentation in order to spread the heat and extract color without extracting tannins. The wine is then pressed with a very old wooden manual cage press. Each plot is separated in pipes of 225 liters. No Filtration - No sulfites added
